Project: FCO Services

Project Director

Foreign and Commonwealth Office Services

Commissioned by the Chief Executive of FCO Services, Alan James provided strategic advice on improving the efficiency of the UK Government’s Diplomatic Service.

The essential thrust of the assignment was to recommend organisational changes to the FCO's support and in-field services which would enable the UK's diplomatic service to spend more time doing diplomacy, and less time on organisational matters.

Alan James authored the policy papers presented to the Foreign Secretary.
